Reloading 8mm Ordnance?

I checked all over Europe and did find a couple 8mm lebel revolver dies. None of them will ship to Canada. Lee dies actually makes a 3 die set for 8mm lebel revolver and they exclusively send them France for sale. The French won’t sell them to me even though they have plenty in stock. I contacted Lee and they will not sell them to me either. Because they only export them to France and will not sell them to any other customers. None of this makes any sense
 
That is all a bit weird. Maybe some strange export restrictions in the EU or France.

I know Lee does some custom bullet molds for Track of the Wolf and other retailers but you would think they could sell you a set of dies if there isn't a domestic distribution deal.

They're usually about half the price. I get new reamers out of Czechoslovakia, via Ebay, for less than half of what I can source them for, delivered in North America.

I believe the bullets for your cartridge are "heeled" with to keep all of the diameters the same in the cylinder.

I have a Webley and another antique that require the use of heeled bullets.

Czechoslovakia hasn't existed since new years eve 1992, are you buying out of the Czech Republic or Slovakia?
 
Hornady does and or did make dies for the 8mm French revolver. Find a Hornady dealer and ask them to order a set with their next order as Hornady won’t really deal with individuals outside the USA in my experience. I had a set of Hornady dies when I had an 1892 and they worked really well and were cheaper then custom dies like CH4D
